80sFan Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 A Nintendo Power #1 CGC 9.4 just sold for $24,000 (with 20% buyers premium) on Heritage Auctions. It's the highest grade copy, 4 of them of 219 graded. A #31 graded 9.4 (4 graded higher) sold for $4,080. The market for high grade copies of these seems to be strong.

I bet these can still be found in the wild, not high grade but mid grade‼️👍 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centers around a kid wanting a Nintendo system. Pretty funny! I had a prescreen pass last year but the holidays kept me down. They do prescreens of streaming stuff, but it's usually only the first or first 2 episodes It would have been nice to see a Complete film!

Even the DVD places and game stores that I go to seem to have more comics than magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mewie Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 The nostalgia on this thread is THICK... oh my... i need to ask my brother if he kept any of his Nintendo Power magazine... i used to collect them all but I think around college age, I had to make room for my 1990's comics (UGH, I know!) and I might have thrown them out 😭 Congrats those who kept theirs or found old ones to buy. They are so valuable now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80sFan Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The Nintendo Power #1 9.8 is now live at Heritage Auctions. Will be interesting to see what it goes for. Also interesting that the Mario Bros. movie is coming out next Wednesday. I think it might have been better to wait until the movie had been out for a 3-4 weeks and list next month, but the movie release still should help.

Doctor Fate, PhD Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Curious question in Nintendo power and other retro gaming mags for grading…. Obviously inserts like posters and such need to be intact I know. But Do subscription renewal insert cards need to be intact for a blue label grade? Is the magazine considered incomplete without them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the magazine considered incomplete without them? Here's one from eBay that got a qualified grade because the subscription insert was missing. If it's partially torn, I'm not sure. I have a few issues of NP that have half-torn inserts but have not submitted any yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
